St James' CE Primary can take up to one class each year, but actually takes slightly fewer children. Classes have usually around 24 pupils.
Key information about the day-to-day running of St James' Primary School can be found here – everything from the price of a school dinner to important dates in the school year. If there remains something that you still need to know, we’re always happy to answer any questions you may have – call in or contact us.

Over the next few weeks, we will be writing a narrative using the video ‘Francis’ as its stimulus.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9xX6lQ_gdY&t=35s
This film is perfect at building tension: the narrator uses pauses and varies the speed at which he speaks to build the suspense. As well as speech used to create tension, the music also plays a key part in creating suspense.
Help at home: Watch the video with your child with and without music. How does this alter the tension created?
